Back in 2020, soon after I had isolated the Fe-S cluster terminal imido complex, Dan remarked “I wonder what happens if you oxidize it.” Five years later, we finally have the answer: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...
Nitrogen Subvalency in a Four-Member Redox Series of Iron–Sulfur Cluster Imido Complexes
Imido complexes of high-spin 3d metals can feature N subvalency, wherein configurations with hole character at N contribute significantly to the ground state electronic structure. Reported herein are ...
